Mackenzie Bight was about 25ft under 30ft. Viz was best between 30 to 100ft under 100ft it got pretty bad.

Anybody been in the water around Spring Bay / Ten Mile Point in the last week or so? Vis was 10-15' about three weeks ago, just wondering if it's improved?

My experience of diving Spring Bay or Ten mile if you get 25ft you lucky. Once or twice I've seen 40ft at TM but it's rare.

Pretty nasty at Willis Pt. today. Vis was around 6' in the shallows. It cleared up a bit below 30', but even though I went well below 100 feet deep (testing a camera housing), vis was still only around 10-15' there and of course it was like a night dive. I don't know what's going on with the Inlet lately. It's like it's May or something.
